Ms. Kert, a mechanical engineer by education, says she was introduced to the field of energy during her studies. After all these years, she is still profoundly inspired by the industry, to which she has remained loyal throughout her career. She started her professional career at Železarna Ravne, continued her professional path at Energetika Ravne and later successfully managed Petrol Energetika for many years. Prior to joining Borzen, Ms. Kert worked at GEN-I, most recently as the B2B Sales Director. She has always been involved in various roles in professional associations, management boards and supervisory boards. Among her most important career achievements is the award of the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for outstanding economic and entrepreneurial achievements, and she is also proud of her role as a mentor in the mentoring network of the Slovenian Association of Managers, where she is dedicated and inspired to encourage younger colleagues to take on managerial and leadership positions.
Upon her appointment, Ms. Kert highlighted:
“We are in a period of intense energy transformation, which is inextricably linked to sustainable development and digitalisation. New technologies are profoundly shaping and changing the natural and social environment. The energy sector is therefore becoming more environmentally friendly, while traditional energy consumers are becoming more active, especially in terms of energy management and production. I envision Borzen as a key player in the implementation of our country’s just and green transition, and thus as an active co-creator of a low-carbon future. The company is already carrying out certain tasks in this regard, and I expect to see more in this direction in the future. At the same time, I am aware that a homogeneous, professional and dedicated team is needed to achieve the set objectives and to run the company successfully. With the experience and knowledge I have gained throughout my career, especially as Managing Director at Petrol Energetika, as well as HR and General Affairs Director and, most recently, as B2B Sales Director at GEN-I, I will focus on performance management, engagement, career development and colleague satisfaction, and build collaborative relationships with different stakeholders in the energy market.”
